Park Tool NP-6

It’s a Park Tool. Enough said.

This is honestly a favorite tool. I own many pairs of needlenose pliers and these are surely the best. The fit is great in your hand, comfortable no matter how hard you squeeze. The jaws meet perfectly, and do not shift under pressure. There are several different areas on the jaws, great for grasping a wide variety of nuts, bolt, wires, etc. I expect these to be a lifetime tool.

This is a great addition to my bike toolbox. Well made, fits my hands well and ideal for bike repairs.

Top Notch product and price work amazing

A must have for any bicycle mechanic.

Update, May 14, 2024: I'm adding one star back. I finally got around to filing a warranty claim with Park (yeah, it took me a while), and to their credit, they immediately responded and said they will be sending me new pliers, free of charge, no questions asked. They didn't even request I return the faulty pair. The replacement arrived yesterday, and after giving them multiple firm squeezes, they sprang back open as expected. So while the pliers may not be made in the US, at least Park is willing to stand behind their product, which is admirable Update, Oct 14, 2023: I'm knocking one star off my original four star rating because I used the pliers recently to crimp a cable end cap, and after giving the tool a firm squeeze, the spring stopped working, so now I have to manually open the plier jaws. The tool is still perfectly functional in every other respect, but I'm very disappointed. This is not the quality I expect from Park. Original review: Seems like a quality tool. The handles are thick and comfortable. The spring is just light enough to allow the pliers to close with little resistance, but strong enough to pop them back open when you loosen your grip. There are lots of functions built into the plier jaws making this a diverse tool that will be right at home in my bicycle tool bag and should last for many years. Took a star off because this is yet ANOTHER offering from Park not made in the US! According to the packaging, the country of manufacture is Taiwan, but Park still gives it a "Made in the USA" price tag.

This is a great set of needle nose pliers, plus more! The pliers are spring loaded so they open themselves effortlessly, allowing you to focus more on your task and less on managing the tool. They also have a cutting edge, no big deal, most needle nose pliers do. What really sets them apart is the areas designed to crimp ferrules and cable tips. Easier to use than the designated area on Park's cable and housing cutter, and way better than trying to gently use a pair of nippers without cutting the tip off. Just get them!

Just purchased to complete my Park Tool Workshop But surprisingly I do use them and it a quality tool. Be Blessed Parker

Parktool steht für beste Qualität, seit über einem Jahr fast täglich in Benutzung und das Einzige, das "abgenutzt" ist, ist die gummierung am Griff. 10/10 would buy again

Coupe bien, pas trop gros pour tenir dans un sac, plusieurs usages etc etc... Aussi utile dans un sac

Muy buenas pinzas. Sobretodo el detalle de la endidura especial para "morder" los terminales de los cables de cambio y freno.
